I’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again; ”We’re in the middle of a revolution and information will never flow the same again”. Of course I’m nowhere near the first to say this, I’m just a supporter. Personal online branding is now officially a must. If you’re building a brand that hides your complete identity, it’s just a lie, and a bad brand, in my humble opinion. You have to be real folks. If somebody was looking for information on you, they will find it. They could pursue two of many avenues - a google search, or straight up ask you. If they use either venue, do you want to lie, or hide? Don’t hide, instead paint the entire picture. More information, is more value. If you want a richer (not just money), more interesting life: blog, twitter, tumbl, or pounce. If you do, and take the big plunge of commiting to even weekly blogging, you’ll regret not starting sooner. And for crying out loud, participate people, ADD to the conversation. Don’t be a blog voyeur, blog authors aren’t talking asynchronously just to hear themselves think, most appreciate feedback. I have (some) traffic, I can see the log. Pleasse comment, contribute, and track-back…anything adds value. All posts should be treated like an ice breaking conversation starter, and comments should reflect that. The blog-o-sphere is growing, and here to stay. So is RSS. You have to learn how to use this.
Oh, and if you don’t have a device connected to the net yet, take that ($$$) plunge while you’re at it, I like my Black Berry…but then again, I might be biased.
Disagree with me? Please do! Add your two cents, there is a comment link below!
Oh, and another thing, if you believe the internet is getting too big too useful too fast - go long Sandvine. TSX: SVC.TO
Disclosure: Looking for a way to go long RSS…if I find one, I’m buying! Long Sandvine.
